“Street-legal!” RML GTH Prototype, a racing car that pays homage to the Porsche 911 GT1

RML GTH Prototype

Road-legal, limited to 39 units

Ray Malloch Limited (RML) Group, founded in 1984 by racing driver Ray Malloch, officially unveiled the RML GTH Prototype at Salon Prive, held at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England from August 27th to 31st.

The RML GTH Prototype (development codename P39), which pays homage to the Porsche 911 GT1 that competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, brings together the technology RML has accumulated over 40 years of racing and vehicle development. Aiming to create the ultimate GT car that can be driven on public roads, the car was developed without any compromise.

With driver-selectable active aero and damping systems, the RML GTH boasts lap record pace on the circuit while providing complete comfort on public roads. Only 39 units will be produced, 10 of which will be sold as the “RML 40th Anniversary Special Edition.”

Michael Malloch, Director of Bespoke, commented on the RML GTH:

“This is a proud day in the history of RML and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the finished RML GTH. It was an ambitious project and it has exceeded my stringent expectations both on the road and on the track. I would like to congratulate and thank the entire RML team for making my dream car and that of my customers a reality.”

RML 40th Anniversary Edition

The car unveiled at Salon Privé this time was the first RML GTH, manufactured as the RML 40th Anniversary Special Edition (SE). The SE model includes the exclusive Performance Pack and Track Pack. These updates omit the rear seats, adjust the ride height, and install a reinforced rear roll cage.

The power unit has been thoroughly tuned in collaboration with Litchfield Motors, producing a maximum output of 932 PS and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm. The exterior color is Storm Purple, and the roof and hood are finished in tinted visual carbon.

The cockpit features custom seats and leather trimmed by RML with crayon-colored stitching. The seatbelts are also crayon-colored. The inlays are body-colored visual carbon fiber, and the roll cage is Storm Purple.

The codename “P39” used for the RML GTH Prototype is not just a number, but indicates that it is the 39th project car that the RML Group has worked on since its founding. Many of the P models developed by RML are kept secret from manufacturers and are not made public, but one of the P models is the fully electric super sports car “NIO EP9 Prototype,” which set a lap record on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and was also exhibited at this year’s Salon Privé.
